Compatibility of 12" and 15" batteries/charging
I need a way to charge my G4 12" PowerBook batteries, at least for data recovery and diagnostics. The 6-contact connectors look the same for the 15" and the 12". If I connect a 12" battery contact-by-contact to the 15" battery socket, is it most likely to charge successfully, do nothing, or explode?!
I have no further information on this question, alas! But since I have borrowed a 12" G4 and have successfully recovered the essential data, my question is now only of "academic" interest.
Is this a good question?

Why don't you run the comuter just with the power adapter and without the battery?

Remacberlin, The power from the working power adapter neither charges batteries nor powers the laptop.
